Potentially injurious staph bacteria can wait deep inside the nose, a small new lessons finds. Researchers tested 12 healthy people and found that formerly overlooked sites inscrutable within the nose may be reservoirs for Staphylococcus aureus, which is a major cause of disease.

"About one-third of all persons are persistent S aureus carriers, another third are infrequent carriers and a remaining third don't seem to carry S aureus at all," on senior author Dr David Relman, a professor of medicine and microbiology and immunology, said in a university statement release.
